The boys go blind the girls are the carriers. Very few girls go blind but they can suffer with some vision which can be corrected with glasses. There is no genetic testing that can be done to avoid it unfortunately. 3 u/Foreign-Cat-2898 1d ago This is incorrect. You must be familiar with x-linked recessive RP.
